Automatically insert rubbish Flickr-comments with Flickr-comment-generator

flickr-comment-gen-gm

I created an AJAX application that generates somewhat generic comments for Flickr. But I soon realised that people would not use it unless it was completely simple and automated.

That's where GreaseMonkey comes into action. I've created a GreaseMonkey script that automatically retrieves a random flickr-comment and places it into the comment text-field of a picture. You get to choose whether you would like to publish the comment or not.

If you notice any bugs in the script, or any improvements I can make to the script - please let know.

Go to Flickr-Comment generator

Or download the script directly

Facebook lacks a simple feature

How do you search for all of your friends that are from or in a specific location (e.g. all my friends in Namibia right now)?

Sounds like a simple enough search.

Or is this feature already implemented?

Update:

It's not linked to from the front-page - only when you do a search: http://www.facebook.com/advanced.php

Update:

And as a commenter pointed out, http://www.facebook.com/advanced.php doesn't exist anymore!

Now publishing full-text to RSS

As of today, I'll be annoying less people by publishing the full-text of my blog entries (as opposed to publishing only the summary)

Gmail adds undo-send-email in labs

How many times have you sent an email message and immediately wished you didn't?

Gmail has added a feature that people have been requesting for ages. If you enable the feature (in labs), it adds a 5 second delay to your emails being sent. During the delay, you have the option to undo the email being sent (Awesomeness).

undo_send

I have to wonder how long it's going to be before other webmail services copy this feature.
